How to do it

  1. 01

    This corrective exercise strengthens the muscles that stabilize your shoulder blade. Hold a light weight in each hand, hanging at your sides. Your thumbs should pointing up.

  2. 02

    Begin the movement raising your arms out in front of you, about 30 degrees off center. Your arms should be fully extended as you perform the movement.

  3. 03

    Continue until your arms are parallel to the ground, and then return to the starting position.

In the app

Dumbbell Scaption appears when you own dumbbells and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have dumbbells

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
